Brazil doesn't surprise me at all. I have the country blocked for all my sites it's just that bad. Any DDOS attack can be minimized with a CIDR block at the nic level (kernel firewall) of countries like Brazil and China.

The US of course you can't block but I will say that you can block a lot of the big datacenters that don't serve as ISPs to individuals.
